CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / October 3, 2017 / GEA Technologies Ltd., dba International Cannabrands (CSE:JUJU-A) ("GEA" or the "Company"), an Alberta corporation listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Finka Distribution, a G FarmaBrand company, to distribute Julian Marley's (son of late Reggae star Bob Marley) Ultra Premium cannabis brand, JuJu Royal, to southern California dispensaries.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary International Cannabrands Ltd., GEA holds an exclusive, long-term, worldwide license to use Julian Marley's name and image for cannabis, cannabis edibles, other derivatives, and branded merchandise relating to cannabis, including Julian's flagship brand JuJu Royal Ultra Premium Cannabis. G FarmaBrand designs, develops and acquires market-leading brands in the cannabis flower, extracts and edible product arena.
The agreement gives Finka Distribution the exclusive right to distribute select JuJu Royal products, including pre-rolls, shatter, wax, flower, CO2 cartridges, and disposable vape pens in Southern California. The agreement is for an initial term of 3 years and will automatically renew for additional three year terms unless terminated by one of the parties upon notice. Over 1,100 cannabis retail stores will now have the opportunity to carry JuJu Royal products and Finka Distribution has agreed to have the products in at least 50 outlets in Southern California by December 31, 2017. The agreement also provides Finka Distribution with a right of first refusal to distribute any new JuJu Royal products in Southern California.
"It is exciting to be working with the team of International Cannabrands and the Julian Marley JuJu Royal brand and bringing it to Southern California," said Founder of G FarmaBrand, Ata Gonzalez. "The brand's commitment to wellness and quality is why we look forward to providing the product to this market."
"As the California market moves into recreational regulated retail, we are eager to expand and distribute the most in-demand brands and products the industry has to offer," said Nicole Gonzalez, Founder of Finka Distribution. "Working with Julian Marley and his team is an honor."
"The decision to work with G FarmaBrand was strategic to our goals," expressed Co-Founder and President of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, International Cannabrands Ltd., Travis Belcher. "We are confident that this partnership will benefit all of our companies, but most importantly the patients and consumers of Southern California."
Select JuJu Royal products are now available in California, Washington, Colorado and Puerto Rico with CBD-only products available in the U.K., the birthplace of Julian Marley. The Company is looking to expand JuJu Royal into Nevada in the near future.
The JuJu Royal brand represents the natural connection between Julian Marley, Rastafarian culture, reggae music and marijuana. With Julian Marley as the brand's ambassador and the exclusive right to market the brand, the Company intends to capture a significant share of the state legalized marijuana market by licensing the brand to cannabis growers, edible manufacturers and retail stores. More information about the brand can be obtained from the JuJu Royal web site, www.jujuroyal.net.
